If you’re like most people (myself included), you don’t make a lot of fried foods at home. Not only can it be a less-than-healthy food, with all the calories and fat, but it’s time-consuming and messy. That’s too bad because when it’s done well, fried food can be a tasty treat.
The other night, the hubs decided he wanted home-cooked french fries. Not the frozen ones you bake in the oven, but the made-from-scratch kind you deep-fry. So he bought some potatoes and oil and got to fryin’. This was the result:
They were the best fries I’ve ever had in my LIFE, and all it took was some corn oil and fresh potatoes. Just heat up a large saucepan half-full of oil until it starts to bubble, then add the sliced potatoes a few at a time. Make sure the potatoes are patted dry, as any moisture will make the oil spatter. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown, sprinkle with salt, and serve.
Tasty!
